As part of NI’s push for “#LabVIEW everywhere” in the mid 90s, the development environment was ported to a wide variety of platforms, including several video game consoles. These console versions were never officially released, though internal beta copies are rumored to exist.

RIP #LabVIEW for Mac 1986 - 2023
Screenshot from NI's forum. The snippet reads "In addition, we are informing you that this will be the final release of LabVIEW on macOS. Starting with releases in 2024, LabVIEW will continue to be available on Windows and Linux OSes. We understand that this change of availability likely impacts your active and future plans. We have the following alternatives available for you to consider."

LabVIEW for Mac was the first and longest running version of LabVIEW, so it's unfortunate to see it go. More info on the final macOS version: forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Fin…

Press release from Computerworld, Volume 20, Issue 25 (June 23 1986). Text reads: "National Instruments Corp. has announced Labview, a software product for the Apple Computer, Inc. Macintosh. Labview is said to combine interactive graphics with programming technology developed by National Instruments, called graphical diagramming. Labview reportedly provides an environment for developing scientific applications that integrate instrument control, data acquisition, data analysis, data entry, data management and report generation. Graphical diagramming allows the user to draw a diagram and automatically run it. According to the vendor, there is no need for the user to write, debug, and document the code. Labview is priced at $1,995. National Instruments, 12109 Technology Blvd, Austin, Texas 78727."

I've just released a new open source #LabVIEW library called G-Unicode! It has unicode replacements for string, file I/O, and user dialog VIs, plus unicode conversion, probes, QD shortcut constant editor, and lots of examples. D/L from VIPM + github: github.com/dataflowg/g-unico…

Today we say goodbye to this great blue bird This logo was designed in 2012 by a team of three. @toddwaterbury, @angyche and myself, The logo was designed to be simple, balanced, and legible at very small sizes, almost like a lowercase "e", a 🧵

Kinda chuffed to receive a kudo from Jeff K on the #LabVIEW idea exchange.
